You know the drill. I write, your read, you review, I write again.

Vanessa set out to look for Drake. She followed his scent to certain places, but could never pinpoint him. It was almost as if he was playing a game with her. He would be in one place, and then as soon as she would get there, he would be gone.
She wandered into the safe house where she had met Drake. Everybody was asleep because it was still daylight. She cautiously walked down the empty hallway, looking for Drake.
She hated to admit it to herself, but she was scared of him. He was older, more powerful and experienced than she was. He could kill in a second, and there would be nothing she could do to stop him.
She checked every unoccupied room, but found nothing. She exited the safe house and set out to check other places.
Abby and Blade carried King to his room. As Hedges fixed his wounds, Sommerfield pulled Abby aside.
"Abby, you know that if Daystar is unleashed, then it's possible that Vanessa and Blade will die. Vanessa said not to worry, but she's our friend and I want to help her." Sommerfield handed Abby two syringes filled with an interesting looking liquid.
"When Daystar is unleashed, give one shot to Vanessa and one to Blade. They're both different, so they're labeled. One of Whistler's sources was able to come up with a cure for both of them. I think her name was Karen Jenson. Whistler mentioned her awhile back, so I looked her up and she was able to help us," she explained.
"This is the cure for both of them?" Abby asked.
"Yes. Unfortunately it will make them human again, but I do want them to live," she said sadly. Abby nodded and walked to her room and set the syringes down on the table, and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.
Vanessa had almost given up looking for Drake when she caught his scent again. She felt a little pull on her body. She looked around but nobody was touching her. It felt like someone was trying to pull her in a certain direction.
She followed the pull. It took her to a skyscraper. She realized it was the Talos Building. She started to walk away, when somebody grabbed her from behind. She fought back, but the person behind her was stronger. A cloth was pressed to her face, and she passed out.
A few minutes later
She woke up in a king-sized bed. The room she was in was dark. She saw a figure in a chair on the opposite side of the room. She sat up and rubbed her temple. She had a slight headache.
"You're finally awake," said the figure. Vanessa recognized the voice that belonged to Drake.
"You are somewhat loyal. You found me. You have proven yourself to me. You have the extraordinary honor of being my follower." He walked over towards her and gripped her chin and forced her to look at him. She held his gaze evenly. He leaned in and brushed his lips with hers. She kissed him back and could taste blood on his lips. His head dipped low and nibbled her neck.
She moaned and he sank his fangs into her flesh. She whimpered as drank her blood. He laid her down slowly on the bed and resumed kissing her.
Drake watched as Vanessa slept. She was beautiful. Her skin was smooth and soft. She looked peaceful in her sleep. He traced he mark on her back with his finger.
She was naked except for the blanket that covered. He could not explain his sudden interest to her. He removed a strand of hair from her face.
He knew the truth about her. He had known ever since he met Blade. The resemblance was unmistakable. He could put her to use. The secret to making a line of Daywalkers might be in her blood. Not that he really cared. But that Danica Talos cared. She was annoying. And she was scared of him. He really wished she would leave him alone.
Danica was just the opposite of Vanessa. Yes, he knew her name. He found out the first time he drank her blood. Since he was the father of the vampires, he had the ability to glimpse the person's life when he drank their blood. He knew most of her secrets. There was nothing she could hide from him.
When he drank her blood he also found the location of Blade. He slipped out of the bed and got dressed. It was time to pay his fellow Daywalker a visit.
Vanessa waited 10 minutes after Drake left to get out of bed. She looked through her clothes to get her weapons. They were all gone. She wondered why Drake had left. Then it hit her. She grabbed her cell and dialed Abby's cell number, praying that she would pick up.
Watcha think? Let me know.
